<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 965939, member: 8267&quot;]Nice baskets.</p><p>I must disagree with [USER=157]@Bdigger[/USER]. The oval shallow coiled basket in front is probably Tohono O&#039;odham (Papago), made with a grass bundle, with yucca and devil&#039;s claw stitching. The tall coiled basket on the left is probably Yupik (Alaskan Eskimo). It would have originally had a top knot to serve as a handle on the lid. And the coiled lidded basket in back on the right is made of pine needles. This could be Seminole, but many artisans have taken up pine needle basketry, so without more information it may be difficult to attribute.</p><p>The Tohono O&#039;odham have been prolific basket makers, producing similar types throughout the 20th century. The one you found appears to be in very good condition.</p><p>The Yupik basket is less common, but loss of the top knot would reduce value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
